Any word on plans to allow that?
None yet.
Seems like the only options are 
a) wait for a possible Android bundle someday 
b) Hack my device to mis-state my pixel density to Google Play. 
c) download some apk from random pirate site.  
Sure would prefer to buy the apk direct ...
Somewhere here on the forum ( i haven't the time to check for you ) there is a thread about Nexus 7 devices that clarifies Amanita Design's intentions.  In brief: please be patient.
happy new year...
